Gorezone magazine front cover analysis



The red and black in the eyecatching title denotes blood and death, but love at the same time. We want to take this element of this magazine front cover for our own magazine front cover. The jagged edges of the title denote sharp or phalic objects, such as murder weapons. This is another element we want to include on our cover. This front cover has definitely stuck to Laura Mulvey's theory of the male gaze, with the woman on the front. With this convention in mind, we want to have a central cover image on our magazine front cover to establish the theory of the male gaze on our magazine (usually the women are revealing, but at the same time covered up, which is commonly used to help sell a magazine. We found after looking at other magazines in shops, the title covers up some of the central cover image, which we want to adopt onto our cover. The fact that the central cover image is a character from the film which will be promoted in the magazine helps to advertise 'Paranoia'.
